Visit to Narnia woollens

[carol]

I recently got to talk to the makers of the Stansborough Fibres, who are most famous for their Elven cloaks for LOTR. Their wools are a mix of Swedish sheep and alpacas, making beautiful soft fibres.

For LWW they made scarves (Tumnus, Centaurs), sashes (for satyrs), tunics (dwarfs, Edmund, lead Centaur Orieus), and cloaks (Susan and Lucy). Susan's cloak is a soft grey with a braid edging in gold, and Lucy's is red with a finer gold traced pattern (also braid sewn on, I think). The kind owners invited me to try on Lucy's cloak. How do I look?

You can find out more about these by clicking "costume site" on the Narniaweb menu.

That's a good look, Carol. You should wear that all the time :)

I really did like it! I now think I can improvise one to wear to the opening screening here at my local cinema.
